North End

Over the Canadian Pacific Railway mainline lies the North End, a culturally and architecturally diverse neighbourhood, best exemplified by the wide variety of stores, bakeries and restaurants to be found in the area.

Selkirk Avenue began as the “heart” of the North End, with its vast variety and large concentration of retail offerings and clothing stores. The Selkirk Avenue of today continues to feature many unique and ethnic offerings, and an emergence of education and training centres have popped up, as well. Additionally, Main Street is enjoying a rejuvenation, with the Social Enterprise Centre and Neechi Commons, a workers co-op, injecting new life into the southern section of Main Street.
